Residents describe frequent staffing shortages that delay help.
Several reviews say help is slow or inconsistent, including waiting long periods after call lights are pushed. Others describe being short-staffed enough that management will not cover shifts when needed. Reviews also describe problems that families felt were worsened by the staffing situation, including basic care getting delayed.
Residents report serious medication problems including wrong dosing.
Multiple reviews accuse the facility of medication management failures, including being overmedicated and receiving medications families felt were inappropriate. Some reviews also mention wrong medication and missed or incomplete medication-related care. A few comments connect these concerns to changes being resisted or delayed when families raised issues.
Several residents describe an unclean, run-down environment.
Reviews describe strong odors, peeling walls, broken or outdated equipment, and rooms that feel neglected. One review specifically calls out hygiene problems, while another describes stench when entering. These comments paint a picture of condition and cleanliness issues that residents and families noticed repeatedly.
Some reviews say improvements began with state oversight and new leadership.
A few reviews say the situation has improved, pointing to changes after new ownership and state involvement. Reviews also describe additional activity scheduling updates and a push to bring fresh programs to residents. While not every reviewer agrees, multiple accounts connect better day-to-day momentum with the ownership and oversight changes.
Some residents say they received compassionate, helpful care.
Not all reviews are negative: several describe staff members as caring, compassionate, and supportive. One review highlights how staff helped a resident feel “at home” within weeks, and another describes positive experiences with staff during a family member’s stay. These comments focus more on interpersonal support than on the facility’s condition or operations.
Some reviews report food that arrived late or tasted poor.
A couple of reviews specifically call out meal problems, including food being late and served cold. Another review says the food was terrible according to a resident’s and other residents’ feedback. The community also offers restaurant-style dining and special dietary options like diabetes diets and special dietary restrictions, but these meal-related complaints still show up in the reviews.
